Joe Biden, Barrack Obama, Hilary Clinton and Kamala Harris should join him.

You’re missing one or two others.

I'm not vegan, but I would still eat at vegan restaurants from time to time. If the food is good, it's good.

Just to get ahead of any incoming skepticism and cynicism: IMO as a non-American, Al Gore is an American hero. Did more than any other politician to get the climate issue on America’s agenda from the 1980s. Dutifully conceded an election that morally he won in order to protect his country’s institutions. Then spent decades more hammering away with his important message.

Sure, Al Gore probably has a not-tiny personal carbon footprint. He takes planes and probably even flies business. But let’s try not to be too judgemental. People are always the products of their milieus and this one was born into the American aristocracy. He could have chosen to spend his life differently. And, as this article suggests, he seems to be trying his best. As someone who does have a very small carbon footprint, I for one do not care about Al Gore’s personal failings. The world would obviously be a better place if it had more leaders like him.

I’m not an environmentalist, and I’m certainly not vegan, but I’ve been spotted at more that one vegan restaurant. Someone going to a vegan restaurant is not news!
